What is Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC)?

Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) refers to trace chemical pollutants in cleanroom air.

These include acids, bases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — that can damage semiconductor processes and reduce yield.
Traditional filtration methods struggle to remove low-concentration molecular contaminants efficiently — particularly in advanced semiconductor processes.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) enable highly selective adsorption of specific chemical species — even at ultra-low concentrations where conventional filtration methods become ineffective.

This makes MOF-based filtration particularly effective for advanced nodes and high-sensitivity manufacturing environments.

NanoSieve™ Technology

MOF-based adsorption engineered for real-world semiconductor air handling systems.

Engineered MOF System Design

Engineered for stable airflow and consistent adsorption performance.

  • Structured airflow for uniform distribution
  • Optimized media to prevent bypass
  • Controlled residence time for effective adsorption
  • Stable mechanical design for long-term operation

Why NanoSieve™ Works in Real Systems

NanoSieve™ is engineered at the system level—ensuring stable airflow, consistent performance, and seamless integration into real air handling systems.

  • Uniform airflow — no channeling
  • Sealed media — no bypass
  • Controlled residence time
  • Stable pressure drop over time
  • Drop-in MAU / FFU compatibility

VORTYX™ Scale Control for Industrial Cooling Systems

Non-chemical scale control engineered for industrial cooling systems — reducing scale without chemicals, downtime, or system modification.

Install in Minutes — No System Changes

VORTYX™ installs directly in the cooling water basin using a simple chain suspension.

  • No pipe cutting
  • No system downtime
  • Works with existing treatment

How VORTYX Controls Scale

VORTYX™ alters calcium carbonate crystallization, converting hard, adherent scale into softer, non-adherent deposits that are easier to remove.

  • Converts hard scale into softer deposits
  • Reduces adhesion to heat transfer surfaces
  • Improves cleaning efficiency (water / brush)
  • Slows future scale buildup

Why VORTYX Works in Real Systems

VORTYX™ operates passively within cooling water systems, continuously influencing mineral formation without chemicals, system modification, or downtime.

System-Level Advantages:

  • No chemicals required
  • No pipe cutting or system changes
  • Works alongside existing treatment
  • Suitable for cooling towers and condensers
  • Continuous 24/7 operation
Proven in real operating environments including hospitals, transportation hubs, and industrial facilities.

Why Scale Control Matters

Scale buildup directly impacts system performance, efficiency, and maintenance requirements.

  • Scale reduces heat transfer efficiency
  • 0.3 mm scale → ~10% energy loss
  • Higher pressure → more energy consumption
  • Frequent cleaning → labor + downtime
  • Chemical usage → ongoing cost

Even thin scale layers significantly increase operating costs.

VORTYX™ addresses these challenges by transforming how scale forms — without chemicals, system modification, or downtime.

Proven Performance in Real Systems

Field-validated results from industrial and semiconductor environments.

BEFORE:
Scale buildup
AFTER (~5 weeks):
Scale softened → removed with water cleaning
FIELD DEMONSTRATION
Scale softened after ~5 weeks — removable by hand (no acid)
Brush cleaning shows reduced scale adhesion
Scale removed by water jet after softening (no acid)
Simple installation — no pipe cutting or downtime
